I like Apple computers.
I like my Android phone.
I love my iPod.
I hate Windows, I spent half a day making win7 run fast and it still seems more sluggish than my 4 year old mac book pro that has half the ram.

Windows 7 is gorgeous. Absolutely love this operating system. Never had any issues with it either. I did tweak it a bit to make it boot faster, but ultimately found out that the real culprit was the Steam client. That ancient crap will slow down anything.

Honestly, forcing all iPhone users to upgrade to the newest firmware was stupid and a bit of a **** move on Apple's part. They knew the older generations (and 3G) couldn't handle the updates. Yes, they're old phones, but some people don't go out and buy a $1000 phone (yes, that's what a new iPhone costs here) every year.
I like Apple's products, but I've no doubt that they want to pump their customers for every last penny. Most companies want to do that, but Apple seems to be pretty open about it. Unless it's not intentional, in which case they should hire a spin doctor or something.

Without carrier subsidies, that's comparable to my iPhone.
Apple charges what they charge because people have no problem paying it. It's like owning a Rolex or a Mercedes/BMW/Audi. Quality products that are also somewhat status symbols for people that are concerned about that.
And no one is ever forced to upgrade their OS. People still come into Apple stores using iOS 4 and OSX 10.4 (10.5 came out in 2007). Some features may not be there, but the functionality is still the same.

Try compiling with netbeans on win 7 then get back to me.
Aero, the main visual upgrade, had to die so I could work. UAC also was a killer ad needed to die.
Win 7 sucks for a development machine. Of course I'm fairly certain me n maz are doin way different **** on our windows boxes.

This is with 8 gigs of ram mind you. I get better speeds via RDP on my 2008 server client or old mac laptop.

UAC is easy to kill. Much less intrusive in 7 than it was in Vista.
And Java just sucks in general. But we gotta use it.
Been listening to this song a lot: from Scott Pilgrim vs the World. Emily Haines' voice is awesome.

Blarf they made me learn Java cause it is what they use at work.
Amazingly, with minimal proper Java earning I understand it well. You know one language you know them all, well maybe at least enough to use it. Programming is not a specific syntax it is a ___. With the ____ being something wiser people fill in.
Logic and math is universal. I learned them in skool.

I located your problem, Horse. Don't use Win7 for compiling/rendering. Use it for gaming, surfing the web and whatever else you do. You'd be able to turn Aero back on as well.
Or get Win8 when it comes out. I heard it's faster than Win95, lul.

I think I've met a someone that could potentially be a special someone while I'm down here. Well, I didn't just meet him. He's in Grease with me, but we've been hanging out a fair amount and flirting quite a bit. Tonight he played with my hair and made me make happy noises. 
So I returned the favor and couldn't resist pulling on his hair and he made some really happy noises, lol. I get the feeling that if I want to pursue this though, that I'm going to have to make the first move, because he's pretty inexperienced. I hate making the first move.

I have a Win8 beta DVD flying around somewhere. From what I've heard, it works pretty well (apart from the app store, which is not even there at all in Win 7, so no big change there).

I like making the first move. It very rarely goes smoothly otherwise because I feel too subby or something.
In other news, **** white people. Bunch of meanie faces.

Damn crackers.
They always seem to break in the tea, leaving one fumbling with one's spoon in a futile attempt to get the bits up, don't you agree?

Maz, that's why you get stroopwafels and just put them on top of the cup to let them get soft a bit. Much better than other cookies.
My only reaction to that is an overwhelming "eh, whatever". The last things they've done bored me so much I've pretty much lost all interest in the band.

Haven't had a good spot of tea since I gave up my archaic beliefs for the more hedonistic Rubiaceae treat. Pardon the pseudo-British typing. Just finished Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. It was quite an exhilarating endeavour!
Okay, scrap it, I don't even think endeavor is the correct word. And something just dawned on me. Endeavor is the American spelling while endeavour is the British spelling. How come the NASA space shuttle was named Endeavour and not Endeavor?

Endeavour was named through a national competition involving students in elementary and secondary schools. Entries included an essay about the name, the story behind it and why it was appropriate for a NASA shuttle, and the project that supported the name. Endeavour was the most popular entry, accounting for almost one-third of the state-level winners. The national winners were Senatobia Middle School in Senatobia, Mississippi, in the elementary division and Tallulah Falls School in Tallulah Falls, Georgia, in the upper school division. They were honored at several ceremonies in Washington, D.C., including a White House ceremony where then-President George H.W. Bush presented awards to each school.[7]

Tea is just coffee without winnage.
It can offer me nothing I do not already receive tenfold from coffee.
Edit: Something else just dawned on me. The thing that makes soda and beer all bubbly. Carbon dioxide. CO2. We call carbon dioxide, when dissolved in liquid, kulsyre, carbon acid, which is something entirely different in English, isn't it?

I put 5 Hour Energy Drink in my coffee this morning. Its the first time in years (if not decades) I've felt jittery.
It tasted horrible.

Yeah, I prefer to have my energy drinks before or after the coffee. Preferably, I skip the energy drink and go with an extra cup of coffee or three.
